X2 doesnt respond to vs-100 fader move~ but VS100 responds when i adjust fader in X2? hmm.

Hello all, this is my first post here.. I have had my X2 Pro for about 3 weeks now and am getting rather familiar with it.. I just received my VS-100 3 days ago, and was planning on using it as a control surface for X2 Pro.. I have went through and assigned most of my commands using the ACT Learn function.. I am pretty sure that all of my MIDI settings and control surface settings are right... MY issue is that track view in X2 doesnt follow or record fader movement from the VS-100.. Its really starting to annoy me.. I can, however, click the fader on X2 and drag it and the physical fader of the controller moves.. But what good does this do me? LOL.. This makes me think that its a midi send issue from vs or midi receive issue in X2.. But all other ACT functions are working properly.. Can anyone see if they can make sense of this?? thanks! =)

Yes sir!! but its still not working.. I'm not sure if it matters, but I wonder if it has something to do with the Windows 8 drivers? Im not sure.. thanks for trying.. =/

I tried using the default mappings but due to aesthetics and just the positioning of my controller, I like to assign the lower left rotary encoders for most of my tweaking needs especially on the channel strip.. even at default the fader doesnt work.. the vs pretty much functions acceptably other than the fader.. i can use the two buttons to the left of the fader to toggle between tracks and shift/toggle to busses... Im starting to wonder if i have a faulty unit.. but yes the controller is set to vs-100 control for both input and output.. I sure hope tech support can help.. thanks for your input though!

If the other controls are working bi-directionally but the slider is not it is starting to sound like a defective unit.  I found the setup very straight forward and it just works for me with the defaults.

I run it with both Windows 7 (laptop) and Windows 8 (Desktop)  on X2a for both.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! there has to some setting in sonar... I just received the second unit, un-installed/re-installed the drivers, and the same thing is still happening.. the fader moves on the VS when i click/drag a fader in X2, but Sonar does nothing when I move the fader physically.. All other ACT functions work. Controller is set to SONAR, DAW FULL ASSIGN, the other encoders adjust parameters in the channel strip, i can pan, but the fader DOES NOTHING! .. super frustrated, especially because this is probably such an easy fix.. =/

Correct... when I physically move the slider on the VS-100 the sliders in the inspector and on the console view do not move... But if I click on the slider and drag it down to lower or raise the level of the track, then my physical fader WILL move.. The only thing that this is hindering is my ability to write automation.. The physical slider WILL READ automation.. But for some reason it seems as if (A) the VS is not sending the midi msgs to SONAR, or (B) Sonar is not receiving the mesgs.. It may not even be that.. There is in Utility>VS-100 menu an option inside the app for my vs-100, an option to disable fader movement).. But this option is not checked.. Therefore, I should have fader movement.. And I do have movement when i manually (point & click) automate it and play it back.. But not if I write it with the fader.. I'm kind of stumped.. Pretty much in a nutshell, when i move the fader on the VS it produces no effect on screen.. But it will the opposite way.. I appreciate your diligence and your help very much.. thanks again.

My properties pages look like this:

How different are these from your settings?

this is going to make me sound even more ignorant than I really am, but how do i paste my print screens on here? I have already copied 3 settings screens so you can check them out, but i am unsure how to upload them because i am new to these forums.. can you please enlighten me?

note that my midi keyboard is ran thru my vs-100

just tried that and neither made a difference.. I wonder if its the driver perhaps??

OK I would remove the keyboard from the VS 100 and give it its own port.

I can see where the keyboard might be causing command issues that could result in the slider input not being recognized.  Like John suggester, I would try this from a reboot without the keyboard plugged in and see if the slider works.

I tried a reboot after unhooking the midi cable from the vs.. im sorry If i sound like a moron =/ still a negative

I'm wondering if you have the right input MIDI for Sonar from the VS 100? Try changing the selection for the in port in your Preferences Control Surfaces. Thats the first screen shot you posted.
